Bathroom ettiquette, Chicago, Britney, Boss's boss, Boo

Sorry I've been gone for a while. I have been surprisingly busy at work and I've been feeling less than inspired to do anything creative. That being said, I will soldier on like the brave little blogger that I am so that you, the reading masses, can enjoy my inner most thoughts.

What the fuck is up with people not flushing the toilet in the bathroom?

I honestly have no idea how you can be a working professional and still leave piss in the pisser or shit in the shitter. Do these people do this at home? How can you forget to flush? Quite frankly, it's mind-boggling.

I'm heading out on another business trip to Chicago this weekend, but I've also managed to combine it with a personal trip. Nice. Basically, my company will pay for me to fly out there, stay in a hotel for one night and then fly back on Sunday. I'm on my own for my Saturday night accomodations and since every hotel in Chicago is booked on Saturday night, I'll be curled up on the couch of one of my friends or be forced to sleep in a bus station. I'd obviously prefer the former, but the latter would make a great blog entry.

Anyway, the personal side of my trip will be hanging out with college friends and attending the Ohio State - Northwestern game on Saturday afternoon. I'm a little bummed that it isn't a night game, but on the plus side this means I won't be blacked out and I'll actually remember the game. If the Buckeyes put up another stinker this week, I'm putting them on notice.

Did you guys hear Britney is back on the market? Fan-freakin'-tastic. I've always had a thing for twice-divorced, moms with poor choice in men.

Listen, Brit. If you're looking for a nice, Midwestern guy to knock the Marlboro Red out of your mouth while giving you tips on how to keep your kids from growing up too screwed up, give me a call.

I had a meeting with my boss's boss yesterday and he was in a bad mood. I managed to escape unscathed and I'd tell you more, but if they ever find out I write this thing, I want as little incriminating evidence against me as possible.

Nevertheless, it was an interesting meeting and he told me I was doing a good job, so there's that.

No one brought in leftover Halloween candy this year. No. One.

You have no idea how upset this made me. Of course, someone brought in a box of Dunkin Donuts Munchkins yesterday so it kind of made up for it.

But still... No leftover Halloween candy? Awful.

I have to keep this short since I have to prepare for my trip tomorrow. And by "prepare" I mean having enough things to talk about so I don't look like I went all the way out to Chicago just to introduce myself. That would not be a good thing.

Anyway, have a good weekend and look for a Chicago recap when I come back.
